Hello again everyone! Today, I'm taking you on a tour of the newly renovated Sofitel Hua Hin hotel. It's even more amazing than before!

I've actually stayed at this hotel five times already. Four of those times were paid for out of my own pocket, and this time I was invited back as a guest.

I didn't hesitate to say yes! Let's take a look and see why I keep coming back to this place.

Sofitel Hua Hin is not actually located in the Hua Hin district as its name suggests.
Instead, it is situated on a private beach in northern Cha-am, Cha-am district, Phetchaburi province.
However, the hotel is only 25 kilometers from Hua Hin, making it easily accessible.
The journey from Bangkok is relatively short, taking approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
(Traffic during certain times may extend the travel time to 3 hours.)

The first thing that catches your eye as you turn into the driveway is a large rabbit doll holding a clock named MR.Rabbis.

My first thought was, "Does the time on the rabbit clock match the time on my wristwatch?"

…Curious, aren't you? Let's find out together…

The large rabbit holding this clock is a symbol that the hotel wants to convey to guests staying at the SO Sofitel Hua Hin.
It's like stopping time, stopping the hustle and bustle, putting everything down, and coming to relax, collecting happiness with the time here.

Let's check in now. The lobby is so spacious. The stairs here are very wide.
They are made entirely of marble. It is said to be the largest in Southeast Asia.

The lobby's backdrop is also made of marble, enhanced by Thai-inspired patterns and complemented by wooden accents. Various animal sculptures are scattered around, creating a design that seamlessly blends nature with art. This evokes a sense of wonder and invites contemplation of the evolution of nature from the past to the present.

Welcome Drink

The welcome drink here is called Elixir, a herbal beverage made with roselle, basil, and lemongrass. It has a pleasant, aromatic, and well-rounded flavor. The staff will pour the drink from a smoking pot.

The guest was served with a set of hot teacups in a Western style. I took a sip, thinking it must be some kind of hot herbal tea (because it had steam). But guess what... it was cold! You see, even this can really stimulate the imagination.

After checking in, let's take a look at the guest rooms. This hotel offers a variety of room types, including:
- SO Comfy
- So Studio
- SO Family
- SO Family Kids House
- SO Pool Villa
The room decor is divided into two styles: "SO Arty" and "SO Nature".

SO Comfy room in SO Nature style

The Essence of Nature

This concise phrase, "SO Nature," invites a deeper exploration of the fundamental characteristics and qualities that define the natural world. It prompts us to consider the inherent essence of nature, encompassing its vast diversity, intricate interconnectedness, and dynamic processes.

Here are some possible interpretations of "SO Nature":

• Simplicity and Order: Nature often exhibits an underlying simplicity and elegance, even amidst its immense complexity. From the geometric patterns of snowflakes to the orbital paths of planets, natural phenomena often adhere to fundamental principles and laws.
• Spontaneity and Change: Nature is inherently dynamic and unpredictable. Weather patterns shift, ecosystems evolve, and new life forms emerge. This constant flux and transformation are essential aspects of the natural world.
• Self-Organization and Resilience: Despite its dynamic nature, natural systems exhibit remarkable resilience and self-organizing capabilities. From the intricate food webs that sustain ecosystems to the adaptive behaviors of individual organisms, nature demonstrates an inherent capacity to maintain balance and adapt to change.
• Awe and Wonder: The beauty and grandeur of the natural world inspire awe and wonder in humans. From towering mountains to vast oceans, the diversity and complexity of nature evoke a sense of humility and appreciation for its power and mystery.

Ultimately, "SO Nature" serves as a reminder of the profound interconnectedness between humanity and the natural world. It invites us to contemplate the intricate balance and interdependence that sustains life on Earth and to recognize our responsibility as stewards of this precious and irreplaceable resource.

The decor style draws inspiration from the stunning natural surroundings.

Decorated and adorned with various natural components, branches, leaves, and furniture patterns.

Photographs capturing nature by renowned artists, infused with the elegance of French art.

Each room is equipped with various amenities, including high-speed wireless internet, DirectStream entertainment systems, and Bose sound systems. The sound system is particularly impressive, offering immersive audio throughout the room, even in the bathroom.

The bathroom here is very spacious. It has a bathtub and a large rain shower head, which makes you feel like you are actually in the rain when you shower. (Just kidding!)

The SO Family Kids House room is designed in the SO Arty style, which combines contemporary French luxury with elements of past art and modern design. The room features stylish patterns, vibrant colors, and beautiful photographs, creating a modern and sophisticated atmosphere. It also includes a bunk bed for children.

SO Pool Villa

This room type features a spacious private pool, larger than those offered during the hotel's previous incarnation as the Hotel de la Paix.

The interior design of the villas is in the Sonager style. Each villa has a unique design, so if you have a preference for a specific style, be sure to request it when booking.

SO SPA

Note: The original text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

For ladies who want to indulge in a spa experience, this establishment is a surefire choice. It operates from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, offering ample opportunity for relaxation and rejuvenation.

SO SPA uses Phytomer, a leading brand of medical products from France.

The interior is decorated in a modern and elegant style, creating a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere.

My favorite part is probably the fabric decoration printed with human postures. When the fabric flutters, it looks like the people in the picture are actually moving. It looks very lively.

After the massage, the cocoon will sit down to enjoy tea and snacks in this room, as if to refresh their body.

"I'm using it as a photo spot. It's close, I'm going crazy, haha!"

Not yet, it's not over. We also offer nail services.

The spa offers numerous photo opportunities, but please be mindful of other guests and avoid making noise.

Most importantly, remember to book in advance as there are limited masseurs and the spa needs to prepare the facilities beforehand.

SO FIT

A state-of-the-art fitness center open 24/7, empowering men to pursue their fitness goals with freedom and flexibility.

The Galerie is located next to the Sorarium pool. It features rotating exhibitions of photographs and paintings, changing every three months.

Beach Society

Open from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m.

The text describes a delightful culinary experience, offering a selection of dishes perfect for a beachside picnic, including freshly grilled seafood bursting with flavor on a barbecue.

Don't miss the Beach Society restaurant, a beach party that will bring together top DJs to create fun.

Accompanied by the sound of music, the gentle waves, and exquisite cuisine every month.

Hi-So
Open from 5:30 PM to 1:00 AM.
It is a rooftop bar with stunning views of the sea and resort.
Which made me not forget to take pictures and show off to my friends while sipping cocktails.

White Oven

The all-day dining restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner from 6:30 AM to 11:00 PM. The restaurant features a prominent white main oven in the center and an interior designed to resemble the underwater world. Looking up, you can see the bottom of the ship above. Let's take a closer look at the food.

Breakfast

A wide variety of desserts and fruits are available, which is a real highlight in my opinion.
The generous portions are a major reason why I have stayed here five times.
It is a key factor in my decision to stay here.

Lunch

For this meal, I would like to recommend Thai cuisine. The local Thai cuisine is known for its unique blend of ingredients sourced from the surrounding area, including herbs from the garden and seafood from the sea. The dishes are presented in a modern and innovative way.

The dish looks so delicious that it makes you forget the original version. However, the taste remains authentic and unchanged. The Thai flavor is not adapted to Western tastes.

This spicy and tangy salad is guaranteed to tantalize your taste buds.

And as I mentioned before, this place has amazing desserts, especially the coconut cake. It took them a long time to perfect the recipe, but the result is a truly delicious and visually appealing treat.

The ruby in syrup is also presented in an appetizing way, with additional elements that further enhance its visual appeal. Customers have the freedom to choose their own toppings.

SO Pool

A large black swimming pool by the beach and a breakfast room are ideal for families. In the evening, children come out to play in the water and have fun, creating an atmosphere of smiles and laughter.

SO Larium Pool

The blue swimming pool is located in front of the spa and fitness center. This pool is for adults and couples.

Translation:

This pool is perfect for those seeking tranquility, sunbathing, and leisurely swimming. Personally, I adore this pool. The pool's unique color was the primary reason for my stay here.

Special Activities
The special activities I received did not end there. I had the opportunity to add 3 more special activities.

SO BBQ Seafood

Translation:

Today is the first day of the hotel's new seafood barbecue, and I was lucky enough to be one of the first to try it.

Translation:

How could you miss out on the food? The cuisine focuses primarily on seafood, featuring fresh shrimp, crab, and squid straight from the sea.

Enjoy the barbecue at your leisure. Feel free to let our staff know if you have any preferences.

Translation:

The dessert selection is particularly impressive, offering a wide variety of options to satisfy any sweet tooth. While the other food options may be limited, they are of high quality. This includes papaya salad with crab, crispy morning glory salad, spaghetti, and fried snacks.

Translation:

The taste wasn't really "wow," like something you'd get at a restaurant. However, compared to other hotel food, the taste was…

Translation:

It was a truly satisfying experience, with delicious ingredients, excellent service, and a delightful atmosphere that made us want to stay and eat until we burst.

The Seafood BBQ is held every Friday from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, priced at approximately 1400++ per person.

SO Movie Night

The second special evening activity is Movie Night, which also starts today. Sofas and popcorn will be provided, allowing you to relax and watch movies by the sea under the stars. This is a truly romantic experience.

Translation:

Sunday Brunch

As mentioned, the third special activity is Sunday Brunch, which takes place every Sunday afternoon. The focus is on international cuisine, including lamb, salmon, shrimp, and crab.

I highly recommend the lamb steak, which surprised me with its lack of gamy odor. The restaurant expertly prepared the steak, leaving it incredibly tender and flavorful.

The dessert is similar to seafood barbecue.

Translation:

Not yet. There is still a common area and a private beach available here.

The front features a sofa bed and a swing for enjoying the sea breeze, as well as a lawn for various activities, such as yoga or evening parties.

I chose to stay at SO Sofitel Hua Hin for the following reasons:

1. Although the breakfast was not the best, I liked it the most. I especially enjoyed the desserts and fruits.

2. A room decorated to suit my age, with unique colors that make it easy to remember, and most importantly, the room is very spacious, both the bedroom and the bathroom.

3. Swimming pool, spa, and common areas. I will consider this as my main reason because I prefer to spend my leisure time by the pool rather than on the bed.

The central area also offers a variety of amenities to suit your needs.

This is the main reason why I am willing to pay to stay here.

If any of my friends are interested, they can check out the Accoraccor advantage plus card promotion.

There is a super sale promotion with a 40-50% discount, and the price is around 3,000+ including breakfast.
